About My Clients
You might self-identify as type-A, a perfectionist, or a hard worker. That's why it often feels frustrating that you can't "fix" this like you feel like you should. Perhaps you are going through a life transition, or past trauma is starting to surface. It generally feels easier to distract from those feelings than sit with them. You don't have to do everything on your own. Let me help you process trauma, explore emotion, and regulate emotion so you can feel more present in your day-to-day life.
My Background and Approach
I have helped individuals cope with anxiety, grief, career/leadership concerns, self-esteem challenges, and past trauma. I set goals with my clients, challenge my clients gently, and explore how emotions show up in the moment. I use a mix of CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and EMDR tactics. I provide diagrams, flow charts, text/email recaps, and meditations. My style is gentle, organized, and curious, with a bit of humor. I will create a space where you feel safe, free of judgment, to practice vulnerability, let your guard down, and not have it all together for once. Let's work together to help you find more balance in life and career so you can show up feeling like the most authentic version of yourself.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe counselors should not "tell" their clients what to do and that this is a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to guide you in finding ways to align your life with your values. I believe that as a white woman, I need to acknowledge how my lived experience will be different than that of the BIPOC community and that there are additional systemic layers to mental health experiences. I believe that there is rarely one clear-cut solution to a problem. Sometimes we have to look at things upside down. I believe a little time in nature does wonders (for me), and you don't have to believe the same thing. When I'm not working as a therapist or career coach, I am probably outside in the mountain somewhere with my pup and partner.
